Gender Violence Prevention in Ecuador
The objective is to contribute to the prevention of violence against women through awareness-raising activities. Despite the country has passed new laws to address this problem, it has only had little impact and not led to increased sentencing of those committing the assaults. The aim is to strengthen popular participation by promoting a critical dialogue between social organizations, public institutions and others through empowerment of various social actors. The partner is the Foundation for Integral Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence (PRIVA), which works closely with the Secretariat of the independent Human Rights Institution and Civil society. The activities take place in the province of Ambato.
